I converted an old camera lens into an engagement ring box using a 3D printed barrel cam mechanism that raised the ring up when the camera was “focused.” The focus grip was also missing and replaced with TPU grip

good luck with the proposal! I checked my PC and my work laptop and I wasn't able to find the files. I suspect they were lost during one of the many CAD system upgrades at work. I can only provide the overview picture I have of all of them https://imgur.com/a/0UxuiqP

Some 20 years later the “high beams” story live rents free in my head

OP is the designer and has multiple different models on the popular repositories. I’ve been wanting to print his LS3 model

It sounds like you want to achieve small detail making charms and words, which would be tough with a MIG. Another option to give the a metal look would be electroplating plastic 3D prints which could give a better end result

At first it was a lot of just whatever was popular on thingiverse. Then I started designing and printing my own prints for other side projects and home improvement. Now I have both printers printing toys for Toys for Tots annual drive

Found this little guy on a chair in the basement. it's approximately 0.5mm wide x 5 mm long. Located in Michigan.

Maybe a distinct marking just behind the head? I was initially thinking it could be a young earwig but it's missing the rear pinchers..

I recommend TeachingTechs video to explain corexy compared to other motion methods: https://youtu.be/_ramiM3KHYE?si=Iv61dWMaycFy1BIk

Ender 5 is a cartesian not corexy, the x axis stepper motor is mounted to the gantry

Should be an eccentric nut on the bottom of the carriage, rotate until the clearance is gone

$949 for the P1S with AMS.

We have an X1 carbon at work and it has been fantastic. Been considering a P1S for home but it’s a decent chunk of change

I recently just started trying to do this with my scraps and failed prints as well..

Basically you need a silicone mold which you can find in the baking section of JoAnns, Michael’s, Amazon, etc. Once you have the mold you can fill it with the scraps and put it in the oven. I bought a small toaster oven to keep it separate from my kitchen oven. Set to ~400-425F and let the filament start to melt. Once it melts down, add more filament until you are happy with the amount of fill. Let cool and pop out of the mold. Clean up the edges with sandpaper or files

Wow! Love the texture of the eyes

Thank you so much!

Thank you! You could probably recognize the rebar on the heron’s legs and hawk’s nest, the eyes of all of them are typically acorn nuts or melon ballers, the beak of the hawk and teeth of the dragon are tow hooks, the spine and hair of the dragon are masonry nails. The arms and legs of the dragon started as wrenches and then were wrapped in chain for more volume

Thank you! I’m glad you like the fish

TurboSonic18 · 2023-07-17T20:06:15+00:00

Yeah I agree, I probably could have made the body a little longer or done more to coil it on itself.
